Do you use the ASUS RAMDisk software they tout on their page (or even
have it installed)? I have had problems updating Windows getting the
same error code back with Imdisk (a freeware ramdisk) as my B: drive,
though it doesn't interfere when it's a Z: drive. If so I'd suggest
uninstalling it and try again. If not, try removing any ASUS drivers /
software and see if that helps.
I discovered it by doing a clean install and found I broke updates again
after installing the software and tools I usually use. You could do the
same - do a clean install onto a separate disk and verify Windows
updates successfully, then start installing the software and drivers
from your current system. From a USB key it's not too bad to do the
Windows install now, the software and drivers is definitely the painful
part.
I'd be surprised if there's actually a hardware incompatibility - it's
possible but unlikely on hardware this recent.

Thane,
Thanks, but been that route already. Tried from ISO both with normal
system startup and from a 'clean boot'.
Thanks...Steve

Bottom line: Win10 keeps trying to update to the Creators Update

The error given is 0x8007001f. Tried just about everything the past
two weeks. Yesterday spent four hours on the phone with Microsoft
with no progress. The thought occurs that there might be a hardware
incompatibility. The MB is an ASUS Maximus VII Hero. BIOS is
updated, although the latest one is back in March. Drivers updated
but the drivers are all 2016 for latest. Went through the drill
with clean boot and direct update from an ISO, same failure, same
error. With the DAW and audio setup I have a few hundred thousand
files to install, so I'd like to avoid a clean install if I can. On
the compatibility issue, I can't get a straight answer from ASUS,
nor is there consistent info on the website. So does anyone have
any experience or heard of anything with the Creators Update and the
ASUS Maximus VII Hero? Still looking here....
Thanks...Steve
